Schools shouldn't be allowed

To have flowers in or OUTSIDE of the building. My child is allergic to bees and flowers attract them. She could die. (Seriously, 3 stings is all it takes and her Epi is all the way on the other side of the building in the office.) That's my opinion. If we're going to accomadate the kids with peanut and dairy allergies, they should accomadate for my child's as well.

What exactly do you do outside of school? Are you gonna petition to have trees and flowers moved from your neighborhood, or elsewhere?
Sorry she has this allergy, but her odds of getting stung are low.

Do you think the places she goes should have to remove their flowers and trees too? It's un-avoidable.
An entire school shouldn't have to remove all of their trees and flowers for one child. I could see, maybe flowers around her classroom, but not the entire school.

I can't believe these moms, I would rather the school not have any plants or flowers if it would save your child's life. Not having those flowers is not effecting any other child with negative repercussions.

I am on the opposite side of the peanut butter, some kids will starve if they are not allowed to have peanut butter sandwich at lunch.

Children who have food allergies need to be taught at home not to eat others food.

So you're okay with removing flowers, but not okay with removing peanut butter, even though it goes beyond sharing food. If a child didn't wash their hands after eating peanut butter, they pose a danger to a kid with that specific allergy. Not to mention the TONS of peanut butter substitutes, that are tastier and healthy.

Also, first world problems if a child doesn't want to eat something other than pb&j. Because if they were starving - they'd eat what's in front of them.
